Game Won't Launch

[Shadefyre]

After trying the suggestions in the troubleshooting thread to no avail, I've now made a thread to try and solve my problem.

Basically, when I try to launch the game via Steam, it pops up the launching window, and when that goes away it closes. Steam update window pops up like it does when you exit a game, and when I launch it I do get a couple seconds of In-Game: SOMA before it changes back to Online. But there's no window trying to open, no error message, nothing. It's certainly not the first time I've had this problem with a Steam game, but the solution is always different.

I've also tried just launching the .exe from the install directory, but it just gives me an unspecified error. Any help would be appreciated, as I really don't want to refund a game just because of a technical problem like this.

I should mention too that I don't have an hpl.log file yet, presumably because I haven't actually run the game.
